74VHC138
3-to-8 Decoder/Demultiplexer
General Descript ion
The VHC138 is an advanced high speed CMOS 3-to-8
decoder/demultiplexer fabricated with silicon gate CMOS
technolo gy. It achie ves the high sp eed opera tion similar to
equivalent Bipolar Schottky TTL while maintaining the
CMOS low power dissipation.
When the de vice is enabled , 3 binary select i nputs (A0, A1
and A2) determine which one of the outputs (O0–O7) will go
LOW. When enable input E3 is held LOW or either E1 or E2
is held HIGH, de coding fun ction is inhib ited and all outputs
go HIGH. E3, E1 and E2 inputs are provided to ease cas-
cade connection and for use as an address decoder for
memory systems. An input protection circuit ensures that
0V to 7V can be app lied to the inpu t pins without re gard to
the supply voltage. This device can be used to interface 5V
to 3V systems and two supply systems such as battery
back up. This circuit prevents device destruction due to
mismatched supply and input voltages.
Features
High Speed: tPD = 5.7n s (typ) at TA = 25°C
Low power dissipation: ICC = 4 µA (max.) at TA = 25°C
High noise immunity: VNIH = VNIL = 28% VCC (min.)
Power down protection provided on all inputs

Absolute Maximum Ratings(Note 1) Recommended Operating
Conditions (Note 2)
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are values beyond which the device
may be da maged or ha ve its useful life impaire d. The datab ook specific a-
tions should be met, without exception, to ensure that the system design is
reliable over its pow er supply, temperatu re, and out put/input loa ding vari-
ables. Fairchild does not recommend operation outside databook specifica-
tions.
Note 2: Unused inputs must be held HIGH or LOW. They may not float.
